Asia is where the battle against climate ch ange will be won or lost. Asia accounts for half of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and is home to about 60% of the global population. The issu es of transition are most acute in Asia\, with growing affluence and rapid urbanization alongside the urgent needs of poverty alleviation. \;

About 85% of the energy consumed in Asia comes from fossil fuels and Asia’s demand for energy is projected to double in 2030. \; Asia i s also most vulnerable to climate change\, with large populations living c lose to locations prone to drought\, floods\, and rising sea levels. \ ; Finally\, Asia is diverse – across stages of economic development\, and across a variety of climate related risks and transition challenges. If we can successfully help Asia transition to net zero\, it will go a long way in getting the world to net zero.

The ‘just transition’ is abou t greening the economy in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone impacted. It involves ‘maximising the social and economic opportunities of climate action\, while minimising and carefully managing any challenges – including through effective \;social dialogue – among all groups impacted\, and respect for \;fundamental labour principles and rights’ (ILO). Rooted in sustainable development\, a just transi tion leverages environmental strategies to advance decent work\, promote s ocial inclusion and eradicate poverty. \;
